These Bands Are Blamed for Bankrupting Their Record Labels
Independent record labels, they come and they go -- it's just the nature of the beast.
Independent record labels, they come and they go -- it's just the nature of the beast.
It was either Jean-Paul Sartre or Axl Rose who said, "Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain," and truer words might never have been spoken (or shrilly sung).
The upcoming album from former Sonic Youth co-leader Thurston Moore is technically a solo record, but it's more like a full-length from an alternative supergroup.
Thurston Moore Band played first -- and secret -- show last night at Cafe OTO in London.
Although Sonic Youth are on hiatus following the divorce of singer-guitarist Thurston Moore and singer-bassist Kim Gordon, Moore is still apparently on good enough terms with his old drummer Steve Shelley to invite him to play in his new band.
It took My Bloody Valentine more than 20 years to release a follow-up album to their classic 1991 record 'Loveless,' but it looks like the wait for more new music from the band might not be as long.
L.A.'s FYF Fest is back for its 10th go-round, and this year's weekend-long bash runs Aug. 24-25 at the Los Angeles State Historic Park. The lineup features My Bloody Valentine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, MGMT and Beach House, plus dozens more top-name acts.
You've seen them at parties, lurking in the corner, waiting to engage in battle disguised as conversation. They're indie rock know-it-alls, and no matter what band or musician you mention, they've got an opinion — strong and almost certainly negative — ready to ram down your throat
England's annual Hop Farm Festival, back for its sixth go-round, is set to take place on July 5-6 at the scenic Hop Farm Country Park in Paddock Wood, Kent. This year's lineup brings an impressive array of artists, including headliners My Bloody Valentine and Rodriguez.
Even My Bloody Valentine know they're effing loud. The celebrated shoegazing band played a concert in Glasgow last night and handed out earplugs to fans before the show. It was indeed loud, but it was also "awesome," according to 'NME.'

McLeish set for de la Cruz talks
The Ecuadorian's one-month contract expired this week with his only appearance for the Blues to date coming off the bench in the 2-0 win at Doncaster.
McLeish told the club's official website: "I'm still speaking to Ulises because he's undecided about going back to Ecuador.
"He still harbours ambitions of getting to the World Cup.
"I know that may be a long shot for Ecuador in terms of their position in the South American qualifying campaign. But the other campaign he's targeting is the Copa America.
"These are issues I'm talking to him about."

| Power Color X800XL 256MB Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=5492 Summary: "Although ATI's X1000 series graphics processors have stolen a great deal of the attention off its predecessors, there remains no Linux 3D support at this time for these latest red solutions. However, for Linux users with the present status of ATI's proprietary drivers the X800 remains a respectable solution for those not looking to fall to the green team with their overwhelming Linux presence. Up on our review block today we have the X800XL 256MB from the folks over at Power Color."

This book traces the origins of the "illegal alien" in American law and society, explaining why and how illegal migration became the central problem in U.S. immigration policy--a process that profoundly shaped ideas and practices about citizenship, race, and state authority in the twentieth century. Mae Ngai offers a close reading of the legal regime of restriction that commenced in the 1920s--its statutory architecture, judicial genealogies, administrative enforcement, differential treatment of European and non-European migrants, and long-term effects. In well-drawn historical portraits, Ngai peoples her study with the Filipinos, Mexicans, Japanese, and Chinese who comprised, variously, illegal aliens, alien citizens, colonial subjects, and imported contract workers. She shows that immigration restriction, particularly national-origin and numerical quotas, re-mapped the nation both by creating new categories of racial difference and by emphasizing as never before the nation's contiguous land borders and their patrol. This yielded the "illegal alien," a new legal and political subject whose inclusion in the nation was a social reality but a legal impossibility--a subject without rights and excluded from citizenship. Questions of fundamental legal status created new challenges for liberal democratic society and have directly informed the politics of multiculturalism and national belonging in our time. Ngai's analysis is based on extensive archival research, including previously unstudied records of the U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Naturalization Service. Contributing to American history, legal history, and ethnic studies, Impossible Subjects is a major reconsideration of U.S. immigration in the twentieth century.

Opposition to the domestic detention provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) continues to grow around the country. On March 20, the Las Vegas City Council passed a resolution aiming to restore Due Process in the face of the NDAA by a 5-2 vote.
Under the terms of the 2012 NDAA, the US military could arrest and imprison indefinitely any person accused of "belligerent acts" or assciational crimes without trial or proof of crime.
The Las Vegas resolution, based largely on the model developed by BORDC that was also recently adopted by a unanimous vote in San Francisco, expressed widespread concerns that the NDAA could be used -- whether by the current administration or another -- to deprive Americans of our rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments. The resolution also obliges Las Vegas officials to refuse requests by federal agencies operating under the NDAA and also asks that federal employees defer to the local law when working in the city.
The Nevada chapter of People Against the NDAA (PANDA) has been active in its resistance to the federal law. On their website, they write, "In short, the 2012 NDAA enables the government to make any person on US soil a prisoner of war."
PANDA praised the passage of the bill and hoped it will inspire more resistance to the federal law in other areas. Daphne Lee, the head of PANDA's Clark County Chapter, thanked Council members and the mayor for their support of the resolution. She said, "This action will support other cities, counties and states all over the country who seek to take a stand to protect constitutional rights."
The resolution has passed the City Council and now faces approval from the Board of Country Commissioners. If it passes at the county level, it will become the nation's first joint city/council resolution condemning the NDAA. PANDA is also pressing for similar legislation to be adopted in northern Nevada.
Further, Nevada Senator Don Gustavson has submitted a bill to the state legislature, the Nevada Liberty Preservation Act, that would invalidate NDAA on the statewide level. Similar bills are pending in a dozen other states, including California, New Hampshire, and Michigan.
Groups opposing the NDAA can be found on Facebook; state groups have been formed in California, Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
Hopefully this happening in Vegas will not just stay in Vegas, but instead continue growing around the country.

BREDESEN KICKS OFF WORKFORCE PARTNERSHIP CONFERENCE Conference focuses on Education, Employment and Economic Development NASHVILLE - Governor Phil Bredesen and some of his Jobs Cabinet members attended a one-day conference today to showcase innovative practices, partnerships and programs in education, employment and economic development across the state. The conference, held at the Vanderbilt Stadium Club in Nashville, focused on the lessons learned from the community visits by the Governor's Jobs Cabinet and models that are being developed for community success. As part of the event, many of Tennessee's Local Workforce Investment areas were recognized for their outstanding achievements and continued efforts toward building and maintaining a strong workforce and creating a demand-driven workforce system. "Having the opportunity to meet with individual communities to hear different perspectives on what's working, what's not working, and what the local leaders see as their community's priority economic issues has been essential to the Jobs Cabinet's success," said Governor Bredesen. "We've found these meetings to be helpful in assessing a community's assets and areas of needed improvement, and as a good way to assure communities we're really working together on jobs issues." The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development organized the conference with funding by the U.S. Department of Labor. "We hope to walk away from this conference with solid ideas to attract and retain better-paying, higher skilled jobs for Tennessee," said Labor Commissioner James Neeley. "We hope to provide local areas the opportunity to learn about economic and workforce development strategies that can be used on the local level." Those speaking at today's event included Education Commissioner Lana Seivers, Deputy Commissioner of Economic and Community Development Mike Kopp, Tennessee Higher Education Commission Executive Director Rich Rhoda and directors from several local workforce investment areas.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
It's good to be the director. Take it from Pat Myne, who directs Myne Fucked, and has the good fortune to bang every chick in this flick. Lucky, indeed.
Especially when one of those chicks is the incandescent Penny Flame, she of the innocent face and devilish body who looks fantastic taking a big cock from behind. Hers is the best scene here, and she's always reliably sexy.
Also worth a watch is Renee Richards, who is all legs and ass, and a fuck-me mouth, which Myne puts to the test, but only after driving his cock into her cunt while choking her at the same time. Nice, indeed.
The rest is pretty good, especially the scene with Alektra Blue and Melissa Lauren, but those two scenes really heat things up.
Retailing: Hot chicks make this one worth a stock.

This video features nine young women, who have a grand total of five body piercings between them. There are a couple of nose rings, a couple of nipple rings, a navel ring, and some labial jewelry, but most of the piercing is of the mainstream earlobe variety. The "trendy" part of the title probably refers to the colorful abstract paintings which are hung above the beds, giving the exposed-brick and white-walled sets a near-Bohemian feel.
Quizzical editing and competent lighting make this tape easy to watch, though the sex is a tad uninteresting. The last scene features two blacks and a white dude. The lighting is green, making all the skin tones appear to be equal. Politics and sex make for strange bedfellows.

Aldehydes, Bergamot, Grass, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Rose, Muguet, Civet, Castoreum, Tree Moss, Cedar, Sandalwood, Musk
foetidus United States Show all reviews | Soapy is right! Chypre Noir opens green in an accord that I dont connect with the chypre category. It even gives me a soapy taste on the back of my tongue. The opening green and bergamot notes are attractive but are nothing that would lead me to think noir. And the movement away from the unexciting attractiveness to those wonderfully promising chypre notes in the base takes a long while. One can lose patience waiting. When the chypre notes civet, castoreum, moss, sandalwood eventually show up, they are of unsatisfying intensity. Chypre is my favorite category and I love deep, rich, chypre notes. But theres just not enough depth and darkness here. Caltha is spot on. Ava Luxe Chypre is not noir, it demands oakmoss, and it should lose the soapiness or at least most of it. As chypres go, this disappoints me, but its still an enjoyable scent. 10th March, 2008 |
tessera United States Show all reviews | A blast of bright soap dries down to a grassy green inhale of spring day. Almost like a men's cologne, it reminds me of something I can't quite place. Still a very cool, pleasing scent that makes me want to inhale endlessly. Not sure I can wear this myself, but I'd probably follow a guy down the street if he had this on. 27th May, 2007 |
Caltha Sweden Show all reviews | Chypre-ish, but not quite a chypre like they used to make them... Instead of aldehydic topnotes, green heart notes with oakmoss, and an animalic, leathery base in perfect harmony there's more of a jumble of soapy sharp topnotes, green grass heartnotes and cumin-y basenotes. Not very noir, in my opinion, but I can smell the aspirations at noir. To be noir it needs oakmoss instead of grass, leather instead of cumin, more heft and body, less soapy sharpness. Potentially headache-inducing. 16th April, 2007 |

Megson shrugs off boo boys
Bolton boss Gary Megson has vowed to get on with his job despite boos from the home crowd as they drew 1-1 with Stoke at the Reebok.
The Trotters needed a penalty from Matt Taylor a minute from time to cancel out Dave Kitson's opener as Tamir Cohen was brought down by Stoke's Danny Collins.
Bolton move out of the relegation zone after picking up another point following last week's opening win at Portsmouth, yet groans and boos echoed throughout the Reebok Stadium.
However, while Megson is yet to win over sections of the Bolton crowd who seemed eager to let their opinions be known, he insists it's something he is used to and will not let affect him or his players.
"It is difficult but they're used to that. It's been like that for a long time and we just have to get on with it - it's not new to be fair," he told Sky Sports.
Bolton fell a goal behind early in the second half but following a sluggish start after the break, the home side recovered to dictate the play with substitutes Ricardo Gardner and Ivan Klasnic instrumental.
"We've changed because we are the home team and we tried to cause one or two more problems than we were actually were doing in the first forty-five.
"So we changed it at halt-time with two people going off and obviously two coming on.
"The goal that we gave away was a shocking goal for us to give away. It would be a shocking goal at any level of football let alone professional football.
"But that seemed to give us a little more of a boost to us than it actually did to Stoke and we took the game to them a lot more than we had done in the previous 65 or 70 minutes.
"It culminated in a penalty that was the right decision, a correct decision which you couldn't really get wrong."
Megson was frustrated at his side's inability to convert chances after a handful of goalmouth scraps went begging, but he insists a draw was a fair reflection on the play.
"Zat Knight had an opportunity from six yards which he should bury and one or two other skirmishes in and around their goal that I was disappointed we didn't score from," he said.
"But I think overall we haven't played particularly well and I don't think Stoke have so I think a draw is a fair result.
Megson was also keen to praise the impact made by Gardner, who was making his first appearance of the season from the bench after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Megson said of Gardner: "He gives us that capability to get onto the ball and take it up the pitch without having to move it on to anyone else and we really miss him when he's not available."

From there we ventured to the Mitchelstown Caves. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the cave, but the massive formations have been transforming since the 1800s!
Finally, we stopped at the massive Rock of Cashel. This fortress sits high above Munster on several huge boulders. I scaled the rock wall to get a peak at the view, not realizing there was a path on the side!

Convert your Enterprise Directory from a proprietary and expensive closed-source supplier to OpenLDAP, a modern, more efficient, and less expensive Open Source software solution. Typically, enterprises dramatically reduce their annual cost converting to OpenLDAP from Sun, Oracle, Netscape, or iPlanet Directory Services products. The workload requires half or less the power and capacity for substantially improved performance. This is a relatively easy transition to make because LDAPv3 is highly standardized and OpenLDAP conforms to the most demanding requirements of the Internet Standards (RFC[?] 4511 and related RFCs).. Symas Corporation will be glad to consult with your team and offer you a fixed-price, fixed schedule offer for conversion of your Enterprise Directory technology. This service includes: - A complete evaluation of your present Directory Services servers - A Detailed plan for implementation of the new technology - A roadmap for conversion of existing LDAP[?] applications and data feeds - Conversion of schema definitions - Access Control conversions/implementation - Database transfer and clean-up - OpenLDAP deployment, tuning and configuration - SSL Certificate Conversion - Database reload - Assistance with application testing - Operational team training (LDAP University) - One year of standard Gold - level Symas OpenLDAP technical support
I recently tested Isode's M-Vault 14. For the most part there were no surprises, we were 5-6 times faster on the 1M entry DB. Load times were comparable, with OpenLDAP at around 3 minutes (as before) and Isode at around 4 minutes. While OpenLDAP delivered over 29,000 auths/sec using 8 cores, Isode delivered only 4600 auths/sec. (And there's still the interesting result that OpenLDAP delivered almost 31,000/sec using only 7 cores, leaving one core reserved for the ethernet driver.)

2. Background information
2.1 Traditional medicine products used in HIV infection and disease
Several countries have traditional medicine products that are used in the treatment of HIV infection and to ameliorate symptoms and prolong the life of persons with AIDS.
In vitro anti-HIV activity has been reported for the following Chinese medicinal plants: Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Hypericum perforatum, Viola yedoensis, Altemanthera philoxeroides, Andrographis paniculata, Arctium lappa, Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Coptis chinensis, Epimedium grandiflorum, Lonicera japonica and Prunella vulgaris.
The protein trichosanthin (compound Q or GLQ 223), isolated from the Chinese herb Trichosanthes kirilowii, has been used not only in China as an abortifacient, but also to treat patients with AIDS in unofficial trials in the United States of America. Compound Q has also been approved for limited clinical trial by the United States Food and Drug Administration. It has been reported to interfere with the replication of HIV, and selectively to eliminate infected cells.
Kampo is a pharmacotherapeutic branch of Oriental medicine that originated in ancient China and is still being used today in Japan. Originally Kampo medicines consisted of a variety of crude drugs prepared in several hundred different combinations as decoctions, powders or pills. Today, however, the extracts of crude drugs are formulated under strict quality control using state-of-the-art technology. Kampo medicines play a large role in modern medical care in Japan and are expected to continue to do so in future.
One Kampo medicine, Sho-saiko-to, has been used to treat a number of different diseases, including viral hepatitis. It has been reported that Sho-saiko-to (which contains glycyrrhizin) has an immunoenhancing effect on the interleukin cascade. Thus, Sho-saiko-to might have potential for use in the treatment of some phases of HIV infection. This medicine also has anti-inflammatory activity and induces the production of lipocortin, a protein produced by the cell nucleus. This is only one example of a Kampo medicine with pharmacological activities that could be useful in the treatment of persons with AIDS.
2.2 Summary of immunological aspects and considerations
WHO has proposed that the following prognostic categories of the disease should be used in describing the course of HIV infection and disease: (1) asymptomatic/persistent generalized lymphadenopathy; (2) early (mild) disease; (3) intermediate (moderate) disease; and (4) late (severe) disease (AIDS) (see Annex 3). After becoming infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), persons may remain asymptomatic for years before the onset of AIDS. During this asymptomatic phase there may be functional abnormalities of both T-cells and B-cells, even if lymphocyte numbers remain normal. At present, it is not clear whether the immune system abnormalities in either the asymptomatic phase or clinical AIDS are due solely to the direct effects of HIV-1 or whether they also reflect defects existing prior to infection in the host immunoregulatory mechanisms.
One characteristic feature of retrovirus infections is the ability of the virus to insert a DNA copy of its viral RNA genome into the genome of the host cell. During HIV infection, the integrated proviral genome may remain in an inactive state until appropriate activating signals stimulate viral expression. Because of the possibility of induction of HIV expression by T-cell activating factors, such as mitogens and antigens, it is recommended that in clinical trials with traditional medicines with a known immunomodulating effect, antivirals should also be given. On the other hand, the development of humoral and cell-mediated responses against HIV soon after acquisition of infection with HIV clearly demonstrates the ability of the immune system to counteract HIV-1 infection. Immunostimulators might, therefore, also be considered for clinical testing, either alone or together with a specific antiretroviral agent for the treatment of patients in stages of the disease with a small virus burden, e.g., in the asymptomatic phase.1
1 Report of a WHO informal consultation in preclinical and clinical aspects of the use of immunomodulators in HIV infection, Geneva, 3-5 April 1989, AIDS, 4(12): WHO1-WHO14.
Drugs active against HIV enzymes (e.g., reverse transcriptase inhibitors) may also benefit patients with AIDS. However, screening for anti-HIV activity using single-cell immune cultures may be of only limited value, because the pathogenesis of AIDS involves several types of immune cells and complex relations among the cytokines of the immunological network.
Animal models will play a central role in AIDS research in the coming years. Important models include HIV-infected chimpanzees, immunodeficiency virus-infected simian monkeys, and ungulates and cats with HIV-related lentivirus infections. However, animal models may not exhibit all the features of human HIV infection.
2.3 Current drug-screening activities
Medicinal plants that have been used as anti-infective agents in the prevailing systems of traditional medicine in different geographical areas are being systematically collected in order to evaluate their anti-HIV potential. For this purpose a collaborative project has been established between the WHO Collaborating Centre for Traditional Medicine at the University of Illinois, Chicago, USA, and the WHO Collaborating Centre for AIDS at the National Bacteriological Laboratory in Stockholm, Sweden. The preparation of primary extracts is being coordinated by the Chicago group, and the extracts are then sent to the Stockholm facility for anti-HIV testing in vitro. The two centres have so far evaluated 36 extracts representing 18 plant species. Activity has been found in extracts from two species, which are of great interest because of their low toxicity.
The finding of two active species in 18 samples represents a high rate of success. If the initial project goal of collecting 200 samples by the end of 1990 is attained, a projected total of about 11-12 active plant species can be expected to serve as candidates for bioassay-directed fractionation and eventual isolation of active principles. It is WHO's policy to ensure that the benefits from the development of drugs as a result of collaborative efforts such as this one are, as far as possible, made widely available on an equitable basis.
In addition, bimonthly and annual reports to WHO on anti-HIV active compounds of known structure and natural product extracts having anti-HIV and related activities (e.g., reverse transcriptase inhibition, other enzyme inhibitions, etc.) are provided through a computerized data base, NAPRALERT (Natural Products Alert), established by the WHO Collaborating Centre in Chicago.
The plant-derived chemicals of known structure listed in Table 1 are those reported to date to have anti-HIV activity.

Just heard this one: A disc jockey, a pilot, a baseball player and a supermodel all get shot into outer space. The disc jockey says to the supermodel, "hey, come here often?" and then she says …
Oh. Wait. It's not a joke, Here's MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch, reporting on Hensley Meulens' wild ride:
He went on to share details about the upcoming space mission, which will take place in 2014. Meulens' space ticket came courtesy of Space Expedition Curacao, which is in the process of acquiring a commercial spaceship. The initiative will eventually allow the public — for a very hefty price tag, of course — to purchase a ticket for a quick trip to space.
The first 100 flights, though, have been set aside for a group of so called "Founder Astronauts." Meulens will join three Dutch celebrities — a disc jockey, an air travel pioneer and a supermodel — on flight No. 1. That announcement was made on April 12.
Since this is a a Curacao-based thing, I assume that Andruw Jones is the backup. But, since Meulens is the San Francisco Giants' hitting coach — the same San Francisco Giants that can't hit their way out of a paper bag these days — I'm guessing his schedule will be wide open come 2014 to make that flight.
- deathmonkey41 - May 4, 2011 at 2:45 PM
I'm still shocked that someone hired Hensley Muelens to be their hitting coach. The great "Bam Bam" who hit exactly 15 career HRs over 7 seasons. What a waste.
- scatterbrian - May 4, 2011 at 3:14 PM
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Besides, Major League success isn't a prerequisite for becoming a hitting coach.
- sayheykidwschamp - May 4, 2011 at 6:24 PM
Who knows how much the batting coach contributes to the sucess of any team. I see more value in the pitching coach and bullpen coach, but the Giants are awesome in those categories…props to Righetti and Gardner. But all the Giants did last year was win it all with a new batting coach. Not saying he was the reason for the Giants success. But it is funny you make that comment considering what the Giants accomplished last year. Yes, we probably had the lowest hitting average of any wiinning WS team (just a guess), but we still hit when it counted.
I guess that's why if you look up the team with the most HRs on any particular year, I bet they didn't always win the WS that year! You have to play both sides of the ball and the Giants were more balanced when it counted.
- thefalcon123 - May 4, 2011 at 3:01 PM
How many different "future star" Bam Bam Meulens cards did you guys collect in the late 80s? I have roughly 30. Every card company seemed to put one out with the future star/elite prospect/whatever else label every year for half a decade. I wonder who the first guy who finally took a stand and demanding that they stop was? Was he cheered, booed, or did he just make everyone really sad?
- daclyde - May 4, 2011 at 6:08 PM
I'm sure in Curacao, Meulens is something of a national treasure, despite a lack of success in MLB. Curacao is a pretty small place, though. But as an ambassador to space, they couldn't have picked a better person. He does speak five languages. Maybe by the time he returns to Earth, he'll speak Vulcan and Klingon.
As probably the world's only serious collector of Hensley Meulens cards, I can attest to the surprising number of sets he found his way into. So far, I've got 119 of the total 122 cards of Meulens that I've managed to identify. Those cards span four countries (US, Canada, Dominican Republic & Japan).

The Constitution Society is happy to announce that our evidence to the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee on the
subject of 'Ensuring Standards in the Quality of Legislation' has been submitted.
The evidence highlights the large amounts of low quality legislation and calls for the introduction of new Parliamentary processes to mitigate against political pressures to pass ill-thought out laws. The Constitution Society welcomes the idea of a 'Legislative Standards Committee' to review draft legislation and check:
- Whether the intended effects of the draft legislation could be achieved through the use of existing powers.
- Whether the draft legislation grants ministers or public bodies powers which are wider than those necessary to achieve the stated policy purpose.
- Whether the draft legislation is being used as a vehicle to introduce legislation on matters extraneous to its central policy purpose.
We also reiterate the call for a strong distinction between 'ordinary' and 'constitutional' legislation. Our submission makes the case for an '…application of special standards to constitutional legislation by a Parliamentary committee'.
The issue of how to define the difference between 'ordinary' and 'constitutional' legislation is something that The Constitution Society is currently researching. Any significant findings from our Working Group on Constitutional Definition will be published here on our website in the months to come.

J. Roddy Walston & The Business return to World Cafe for a new studio session. Originally formed in 2002, the Tennessee band began picking up speed after it relocated to Baltimore in 2004. On the upright piano, Walston shapes the group's style of infectious Southern rock.
The group recently released its third album, Essential Tremors, which was recorded at Soil of the South Studios in Georgia with Grammy-winning producer and engineer Mark Neill (The Black Keys) and Matt Wignall (Cold War Kids, Delta Spirit).
In a discussion with host David Dye, Walston explains that the new record was named for a medical condition from which he suffers.

Pitbull's World Cup fashion raises eyebrows
Pitbull has long been known for his on-point fashion sense. Onstage, he usually wears impeccably tailored suits in either black or white. And that makes us Miamians proud.
But perhaps a slip in judgment, a change in stylist, or poor packing decisions has media outlets like The New York Post calling the rapper "Harry High Pants" and a few Twitter users giving him the moniker of the "Cuban Simon Cowell." As a matter of course, these suckers now have their own hashtag, #pitbullspants.
This happened: Pitbull sang the World Cup anthem, "We Are One (Ole Ola)," at the opening ceremony at the Itaquerao Stadium in Sao Paulo Thursday night, alongside Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte, in way too tight, high-waisted leisure slacks with a Brasil jersey tucked in a la your grandpa. Buzzfeed called his choice of rolled-up trousers "diaper pants," which may be a little harsh. We prefer "mom jeans."
Pit, next time, don't leave your suits in Miami.

The six-member panel constituted to review the cartoons used in social sciences textbooks of the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has ordered the deletion of several cartoons and words that it says are either "ambiguous", negative or show politicians and bureaucrats in an 'incorrect way.
Among the material that gets the chop:
an R.K. Laxman cartoon from the 1950s showing Nehru telling France and Portugal (represented as monkeys, in the context of the demand that they leave Pondicherry and Goa) that 'I admit years back you were living happily right here when this was all a colonial jungle… but we've cleared it now and built a decent house! So you must quit!' ("Cartoon may be deleted. No politician or institution may be represented as animals")
a Surendra cartoon from The Hindu showing babus blocking the RTI ("may be deleted as it is not a correct interpretation of the role of the bureaucracy")
a Huffaker cartoon from the U.S. called 'One-Party Country' showing a porcine tycoon with the Senate, presidency and Supreme Court in his pockets ("may be deleted because politicians and institutions are represented as animals")
an R.K. Laxman cartoon showing a beggar holding a bowl out to a garlanded Indira Gandhi ("may be deleted — being politically sensitive)
in a cartoon describing two Emergency-era notions — "Put simply, committed judiciary and committed bureaucracy means that the judges and officers should be loyal to the ruling party. What a pity!" — the panel says "What a pity!" should be removed.
a Shankar cartoon called 'Kicking upstairs' showing Nehru using his foot to propel a politician up into a building labelled 'Governorship' ("may be deleted as it conveys a sense of ambiguity")
The panel's 40-page report was submitted to the government on June 27. Its terms of reference were to identify educationally inappropriate materials and provide alternative suggestions for the six textbooks in Political Science. One member, M.S.S. Pandian — who said he found nothing objectionable in the books — has issued a dissenting note.
Justifying the proposed deletions, the panel majority headed by S.K. Thorat says in its report: "They [authors] may have reasons to believe that the cartoons used were not offensive but only reflected commonly perceived notions. In a society as vast and as diverse as India is, there can always be room for different understanding of the text and interpretation of visuals, and especially cartoons could be viewed differently by different segment of society. It is more so when multiple sensitivities get involved. The sensitivities, genuine or perceived, have to be taken note of and addressed carefully."
Calling for wider consultation and feedback in the future, the panel said the "best way for that can be pre-testing of texts and visuals in different setting such as rural- urban and various types of schools, discussion with different religious minorities and ethnic minorities, involvement of teachers and faculty from different social and religious background in textbook development, periodic updating, improving and redressing objections in an appropriate academic manner."

Grey's Anatomy Season 10, Episode 6 Sneak Peek: A Tension-Filled Moment (VIDEO)
Spoiler alert: Grey's Anatomy Season 10, Episode 6 — "Map of You" — is going to be incredibly uncomfortable to watch, if this sneak peek of the tension between Owen (Kevin McKidd), Emma (Marguerite Moreau), Cristina (Sandra Oh), and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) is any indication. Dr. Emma Marling seems to have gone from Owen's gala date to Owen's full-fledged girlfriend. As the preview begins, she's meeting her tall redheaded hunk at Grey Sloan Memorial on her way to observe a surgery — and she wants to make sure it's not weird or unprofessional that she's there. "Um, hey, uh," Owen stammers. "Are we not telling people? 'Cause I told a couple people." "Yeah, you could. Uh, you should. I — I would," Emma stammers back. As if that exchange weren't awkward enough, Emma bumps into Cristina on the way out, who then asks Owen if it's Bring Your Girlfriend to Work Day. Later in the clip, Cristina sees that Meredith is at a workstation and growing frustrated, but when she asks what's up, Mer says that it's nothing — that she's just deciding between research projects. "Decide between what?" Cristina asks, eager to help out. "Nothing," Mer responds curtly. "I got it." Yikes. We knew that the hard dose of truth Cristina doled out in Episode 5 would have nasty side effects, but it seems clear that Mer has no intention on restoring Cristina's bestie status. The clip has so much more anxiety, so pop a Xanax and check out the full sneak peek below. (Kidding about the self-prescribing part.)

Occupy Wall Street and the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division: A Hypothetical Examination of the Slippery Slope of Military Intervention during Civil DisturbanceMcKay SmithGeorge Washington University Law School; George Mason University School of Law; U.S. Department of Justice; Department of Homeland Security July 2012 George Mason University Civil Rights Law Journal (CRLJ), Vol. 22, No. 3, 2012 Abstract: Throughout 2011, the world was an incredibly angry place. The global economy was in disarray. The streets of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria had erupted in unprecedented violence. While Americans watched events spiral out of control abroad, a new movement was taking shape domestically. The Occupy movement is a self-described, nonpartisan protest movement targeting economic injustice and social inequality. At its core, however, many domestic protestors also vocally deride the current state of U.S. politics. This article analyzes the Army's authority to collect information in support of domestic operations, particularly operations aimed at quelling civil disturbance. Historically, the use of the military to respond to domestic events significantly impacted the rights of U.S. persons. In 1975, Congress began a detailed examination of the intelligence community in response to a series of revelations in the media. The Church Committee, as this investigative committee would come to be known, made a number of alarming findings, including the existence of an Army domestic intelligence program that collected information on U.S. persons based purely on their political beliefs. Thus, this article serves as a vehicle for examining the effects of contemporary military intervention on constitutional rights. More importantly, the resulting discussion attempts to answer one important question - are we in danger of repeating the past?

Who We Are: Storytellers with a Passion for ScienceThe Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program (SHERP) at New York University is one of the world's oldest and most successful science journalism training programs. Aspiring science reporters, authors, editors, producers, videographers, coders and bloggers (and various permutations thereof) who complete the intensive 16-month program receive a Master of Arts degree in Journalism and an Advanced Certificate in Science, Health and Environmental Reporting. They join an extended family of graduates (391 at last count!) committed to covering scientific, medical and environmental topics with precision, nuance and passion. SHERP alumni have diverse backgrounds and beliefs and work in many types of digital, print and broadcast media in twenty-five countries. What unites them are two deeply held convictions: science is too important to leave only to scientists, and journalism is too important to leave only to the scientifically illiterate. SHERP's current students are the newest links in a chain that stretches back to the program's founding in 1982 by Bill Burrows, who retired in 2008 and was succeeded as SHERP director by Dan Fagin, a longtime science and environmental journalist who was awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction for his book, Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation. What We Do: A Customized Curriculum, a Hands-On ApproachHumans are a storytelling species, and the scientific enterprise is the wellspring of many of our greatest contemporary narratives. But how many of us possess the skills to make these narratives our profession? SHERP's customized curriculum is tailored to develop world-class science storytellers at a time of unprecedented change, challenge and opportunity in journalism. Our faculty of nationally prominent science journalists offers rigorous instruction in research, reporting, writing and editing through coverage of cutting-edge science, from nanotechnology and epigenetics to global climate change and cosmology. Coursework is built around case studies and learning by doing, not academic theory or rote memorization. A key focus is reporting, writing and editing features and news for magazines and online sites, but students also dive into all forms of modern journalism, from books and long-form narratives to blogs, videos, audio podcasts, data visualization and social media. Entrepreneurial skills, including self-marketing, are emphasized throughout the SHERP sequence and especially in a new class focusing on developing sound business models for digital science journalism projects. Investigative science journalism is also an important curricular focus, as evidenced by a recent investigation conducted by Professor Charles Seife and his SHERP students into fraudulent drug studies submitted to the Food and Drug Administration. The powerful results of this faculty-student collaboration were published in 2015 in JAMA-Internal Medicine and Slate. Visual journalism is woven into the curriculum from the first semester, when every SHERP student learns to shoot and edit video under the tutelage of an experienced videographer who also provides advanced instruction during the second semester. There is also a workshop on data mining, analysis and visualization taught by graphics editors at the Times. We teach audio podcasting, too. The curriculum reflects our philosophy that twenty-first century journalism education should be platform-agnostic: the content of the story should dictate its form, not vice versa. Whether they do most of their work in print or online, our graduates thrive in the fast-changing science journalism landscape because they are comfortable telling stories on mulltiple platforms, in multiple ways. The culture at SHERP is challenging but never cutthroat. We emphasize cooperative learning in an informal, intellectually rich environment. SHERP students work hard and love what they do. Thanks to the specialized curriculum and intimate atmosphere, "sherpies" form lifelong bonds during their sixteen months in the program, including eight marriages so far! Where We Work: NYC, the World Capital of Science JournalismSHERP takes full advantage of its home base at the center of the science journalism firmament: New York City, where there are more journalism job opportunities than anywhere else in the world. Our neighborhood is a particularly fertile one for science storytelling because 20 Cooper Square is right in the middle of Lower Manhattan's booming Silicon Alley; Facebook and IBM's Jeopardy!-winning Watson computer are one block away. A small program nested comfortably in a large research university, SHERP utilizes the vast intellectual resources of New York University, including the NYU School of Medicine, to enrich student experiences. We also reach well beyond the university community. In addition to two full-time professors with many years of experience in professional science journalism, Dan Fagin and Charles Seife, the program's superb faculty includes current or former editors and writers at Scientific American, The New York Times, Science, Reuters, Nature and The Wall Street Journal, among other outlets. SHERP faculty work at the very highest levels of science journalism but are also deeply committed to the hard work of teaching well, with long track records of success in the classroom as well as the newsroom. |
The curriculum also draws heavily on a roster of guest speakers constituting a who's who of science journalism and science research. In a typical year, nearly one hundred journalists and scientists visit SHERP to speak in classes or at evening seminars that have become gathering places for the New York science journalism community. There are also yearly field trips to Brookhaven National Laboratory, The New York Times, the American Museum of Natural History and CNN. When SHERP students go on a field trip, they do much more than tour; they pitch stories to editors and participate in seminars with leading researchers. Science journalism internships at leading publications, programs and web sites are a crucial part of the SHERP experience and are fully integrated into the overall curriculum, not a tacked-on appendage. Every student completes two for-credit internships during the final eight months of the program, but the internship process actually begins much earlier. Starting in the first semester, SHERP's internship coordinator provides personalized support and advice, assisting students in landing positions and then making sure they get the most out of their internship experiences. SHERP interns don't get coffee, except for themselves; they get clips. Many choose to intern at outlets that have worked closely with SHERP for years; their supervisors are often alumni or current or former faculty. Others take advantage of the flexibility of the our internship program to secure internships at exciting new digital publishing ventures or places a little farther off the beaten track for science journalists. |
SHERP's popular Inside-Out speaker series features candid conversations with some of the world's most prominent science journalists. |
Our Focus: Building Skills and PortfoliosTo thrive in today's convergent media environment, science journalists need diverse skills and a broad portfolio of published work. SHERP delivers both. By graduation, a typical SHERP student has written or edited dozens of stories of all lengths and types, produced several video and audio pieces, built data graphics and slide shows and even authored a book proposal -- all prepared in close collaboration with highly accomplished professors who are leaders in science journalism. The stories SHERP students produce for their classes are of such high quality that every year many are published in professional media. In addition, students gain invaluable experience by assigning, reporting, writing and editing stories for Scienceline, an award-winning webzine run entirely by SHERP students. Scienceline's mix of news, features, profiles, blogs, videos, audio podcasts and data visualizations attracts approximately 6,000 visitors per day (more than 2 million per year) from around the world. In addition, Scienceline stories are regularly syndicated to the web sites of Scientific American, Discover, Popular Science, LiveScience.com, Space.com, OnEarth, The Scientist and other outlets, generating even more clips, exposure and opportunities for SHERP students. Finally, SHERP's unrivalled internship program puts students in position to publish their work in places like The New York Times, NOVA, Wired and dozens of other globally prominent outlets. Life After SHERPJob placement is a proven strength of SHERP. Every year, several graduating students go to work full-time at places where they were SHERP interns; other job-seeking graduates tap the close-knit and extensive SHERP alumni network, which operates its own busy email list. Over the years, editors have come to trust the SHERP "brand," so graduates fare very well in the extremely competitive market for staff jobs and freelance work in science journalism. SHERP alumni regularly return to Cooper Square for evening seminars and other special events, and as guest speakers in classes. They also assist their successors by generously contributing to the Bill Burrows SHERP Scholarship Fund. The tight bonds between current and former students and faculty (both present and past) are a distinguishing feature of SHERP and a crucial asset for "SHERPies" new and old. (Long after they've graduated, SHERPies love to collaborate with each other, whether on serious editor-writer partnerships or this parody video.) Join Us!If you think our program is right for you, we look forward to introducing you to our students, professors and alumni and showing you the unique, convivial culture of SHERP. Please see the How to Apply page for full details on how to proceed. All SHERP students start in September and are expected to complete the program by December of the following year. We are not able to enroll part-time students. Please note that the formal application deadline is January 4 but we will consider late applications. We make admission decisions on a rolling basis starting in February. All applicants need to take the GRE test, whether or not you already have a graduate degree. SHERP gratefully acknowledges the generosity of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and our alumni and friends in helping to support our work. |

Domaine Pfister Pinot Blanc Alsace 2005
Pinot Blanc from Alsace, France
Winemaker's Notes
This wine is a great refreshing dry white wine. Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, each type of vine respectively, bring promptness and smoothness for the first, matter and roundness for the second. This light white wine enhances citrus, melon, pear, apricot flavors and mineral undertones combined with characteristic high acidity.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The Pfister's 2005 Pinot Blanc – in fact, predictably, a blend of Auxerrois and true Pinot Blanc – smells of ripe apple, almond and clover, saturates the palate with juicy apple and melon fruit tinged with lemon zest and honey, offering a satisfyingly silky feel, and finishes with considerable refinement and enough acidity to supply lively refreshment. Would that more examples of Pinot d'Alsace offered such excellent value and impeccable balance! "
Domaine Pfister Winery
As early as 1780, Nicolas Pfister lived as a "bourgeois wine-grower" using the farm buildings that are still in place today. The estate and how-know were subsequently handed down from father to son, in the traditional manner. There was a turning point in 1972, when Alfred Pfister handed over the business to his son André. With the support of his wife Marie-Anne, the latter would implement a new approach, resolutely forward-thinking and designed to benefit future generations. Having inherited the expertise of the six previous generations of wine-growers, he soon decided to devote himself to ecologically responsible wine-growing while modernising facilities and equipment. The work carried out on the vines and in the cellar pursued the single objective of obtaining the highest quality fruit and wines, bearing the hallmark of their terroir.
The latest chapter in the story has seen the arrival on the estate of Mélanie, the eighth generation of Pfisters, and the first woman in the line of succession. Trained in Bordeaux and then Dijon as an engineer and oenologist, she intends to apply her knowledge and diverse practical experiences to the ongoing quest for perfection that epitomizes the estate.

About Alsace
Seventy miles long and two miles wide, Alsace is a beautiful, picturesque region situated along the border of France and Germany, nestled between the Voges Mountains and the Rhine River. These landmarks give Alsace an ideal climate for the white grapes that have become the mainstays of the region. Pinot Noir is also grown, with plantings of the grape increasing with consumer demand for red wine.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, Alsace underwent a territorial tug-of-war, bouncing from France to Germany and back to France again at the end of the first World War. While the French led the renaissance of fine wine production in the 20th century, Alsacians have integrated both French and German influences in their wine. Alsacian wines are mostly white, with Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer leading the plantings. Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Sylvaner are also popular varietals. The bottles are flute-shaped, like many German wines, and the type of grape is clearly placed on the wine's label – quite unlike the typical French practice of labeling wines by region.
Notable Facts
Alsace wines have four noble varieties: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat. These are the only varietals allowed in the 50 Alsacian Grand Cru wines. Pinot Blanc, while not noble, is key in making many of the Cremant d'Alsace (sparkling wines) and is found in many Alsace AC blends. Most of the wines from the region are dry – with steely acidity and round fruit flavors, typically more full bodied (aka, more alcohol) than their German counterparts. There are also sweet wines and, of course, sparkling.About France - Other regions
When it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

firstname.lastname@example.com - Sea Girt, NJ14/1/2012Related ProductsAlcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
